What is Periodontics and what does it involve?

The Professional Solution to Gum Problems!

Periodontics is the dental specialty that deals with preventing, diagnosing, and treating diseases that affect the tissues surrounding and supporting the teeth, mainly the gums and bone. Although it often goes unnoticed, its role is key to maintaining long-term oral health and preventing tooth loss.

Healthy gums not only improve the aesthetics of your smile, but are also the foundation of a functional and pain-free mouth. Treating any changes in periodontal tissue early on helps to preserve your teeth and maintain good overall health, as there is a direct link between periodontitis and systemic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular problems.

Difference between Gingivitis and Periodontitis.

This is the initial stage of periodontal disease. It is characterised by superficial inflammation of the gums caused by the accumulation of bacterial plaque. At this stage, the damage is reversible with good hygiene and professional treatment.

When gingivitis is not treated in time, it can develop into periodontitis. At this stage, the infection affects deeper structures, such as the periodontal ligament and the bone that supports the tooth. Loss of support can lead to tooth mobility and even tooth loss. It is a chronic disease that requires specialised care to control it.

Symptoms to Consult a Periodontist About.

Detect Periodontal Problems Early.

Gum problems can start silently, without causing significant discomfort at first. However, ignoring them can have serious consequences for your oral health. Early detection is essential, which is why recognising the symptoms is the first step in avoiding major complications such as tooth loss or destruction of the bone that supports them.

If you notice any of these symptoms, it is important to see a periodontist as soon as possible. At Lucia Gil Dental, we help you detect and treat any periodontal problems early on. 

These are the most common signs that you may need to see a periodontist:

  • Gums that bleed when brushing or flossing
  • Persistent inflammation or redness of the gums
  • Persistent bad breath, even after hygiene
  • Feeling of receding gums or longer teeth
  • Tooth mobility or feeling of loose teeth
  • Pain or tenderness in the gums
  • Formation of pus or abscesses between the tooth and gum
  • Changes in bite or tooth alignment

Advanced Periodontal Treatments.

Your Specialist Periodontist.

At Lucia Gil Dental, we tailor each periodontal treatment to the health of your gums and the stage of the disease. Not all patients require the same treatment, which is why we design a personalised strategy to halt the progression of the disease and restore the health of your mouth.

It is recommended when there is initial accumulation of plaque and supragingival tartar, i.e. above the gum line. It is an essential preventive treatment to stop the problem from progressing and leading to inflammation or periodontal disease.

Recommended when tartar has already accumulated under the gums (subgingival). This treatment involves carefully removing bacteria adhered to the tooth roots to reduce inflammation and halt the progression of periodontitis and bone loss.

After periodontal treatment, it is crucial to maintain healthy gums in the long term. That is why we schedule regular check-ups and cleanings tailored to each case, monitoring progress and preventing relapses.

In more advanced cases, when the damage is more severe or bone loss has occurred, we perform procedures such as gingivectomies (removal of inflamed tissue) or guided bone regeneration techniques in order to restore support and functionality.

We also take care of the health around dental implants. Peri-implantitis is an inflammation that can compromise the bone that supports them. We act with precision to stop it and preserve the integrity of the implant.

FAQs About Periodontics in Valencia.

Once periodontal disease has destroyed the bone that supports the teeth, that bone does not regenerate naturally. Bone loss is one of the most serious consequences of advanced periodontitis and can compromise the stability of the teeth.

That is why it is so important to detect the disease early and take action with periodontal treatments that slow its progression. The sooner we intervene, the more bone and tooth structure we can preserve.

In some specific cases, when the condition of the gums and bone allows it, surgical procedures such as bone grafts or guided tissue regeneration may be considered. However, these procedures are not always feasible and require a very accurate diagnosis.

Prevention and professional monitoring remain the most effective measures. If you are concerned about the health of your gums or have noticed any symptoms, make an appointment with our team of periodontics specialists in Valencia. Acting in time can prevent tooth loss.

No, curettage or root planing is not usually a painful treatment. In most cases, we perform it under local anaesthesia so that the patient is completely comfortable during the procedure. Thanks to this technique, bacteria and tartar accumulated below the gum line are removed without causing pain.

It is normal to experience slight sensitivity or minor discomfort after the procedure, but these symptoms are usually very mild and temporary. In fact, many patients notice an improvement in their gums almost immediately: less inflammation, reduced bleeding and a general feeling of cleanliness and freshness.

The gums need time to heal and regenerate completely, but during this period there is no significant pain. Furthermore, with proper hygiene and good follow-up, the outcome is usually very positive from the very first days.

At Lucia Gil Dental, we accompany you throughout the entire process so that you can undergo treatment in a calm and safe manner.

Periodontal disease is not inherited or contagious as such, but there is a genetic predisposition that can make some people more prone to developing it. In other words, if there is a history of gum problems in your family, it is important to take extra care and have regular check-ups to detect it early.

On the other hand, although it is not contagious in the traditional sense, the bacteria responsible for periodontitis can be passed from one person to another through saliva, for example, by sharing cutlery or through frequent kissing. This does not mean that you will automatically develop the disease, but it does increase the risk if you do not maintain good oral hygiene.

Therefore, the best advice is to maintain rigorous cleaning habits, visit your periodontist for check-ups, and take preventive measures, especially if you know you may be at higher risk. At Lucía Gil Dental, we help you detect and prevent periodontal disease from your very first visit.

Periodontitis not only compromises the health of your gums and teeth, it can also affect the balance of your entire body. Several studies have shown a close relationship between periodontal disease and certain systemic pathologies, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and even complications during pregnancy.

When gums are inflamed due to chronic infection, bacteria and their toxins can enter the bloodstream, promoting inflammatory processes in other parts of the body. For example, in people with diabetes, this situation can make it difficult to control glucose levels. A higher incidence of premature births or low birth weight has also been observed in pregnant women with untreated periodontal disease.

That's why taking care of your gum health is a direct investment in your overall health. At our dental clinic, we not only treat your gums, but we also work to improve your overall well-being.

The frequency of periodontal maintenance is not the same for all patients. After active treatment of periodontitis, the periodontist will establish a personalised check-up plan based on the condition of your gums, the initial degree of involvement and your risk profile.

In general, patients with controlled periodontal disease usually visit every 3 or 4 months to ensure proper professional hygiene and prevent relapses. In milder cases, visits can be spaced out to 6 months, provided that clinical stability is maintained.

This regular monitoring is key to maintaining treatment results, detecting any changes early on, and maintaining long-term oral health. We are committed to caring for your periodontal health with constant, personalised monitoring, so that you can keep your smile healthy and protected over time.

Although some symptoms such as bleeding when brushing, swollen gums or persistent bad breath can give you clues, the only reliable way to know if you have gingivitis or periodontitis is through a professional assessment. At our dental clinic, we have periodontics specialists and advanced technology to accurately diagnose the condition of your gums.

During the first visit, we carry out a complete examination which, if necessary, includes additional tests. This allows us to differentiate between mild inflammation and more advanced periodontal disease.

The price of a complete periodontal treatment can vary significantly depending on the condition of your gums, the degree of damage and the stages required to restore your oral health. That is why at Lucía Gil Dental we do not offer generic quotes: each treatment is completely personalised.

What we do guarantee is an initial consultation during which one of our periodontists will thoroughly assess your case, explain the steps to be taken, and provide you with a detailed treatment plan with a breakdown of costs. All of this is done with no obligation and with complete transparency, so that you can make your decision with the peace of mind of knowing you are in good hands.
